Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Bay of Fires, crowned by Tourism Australia as home to the ‘BEST BEACHES IN AUSTRALIA 2025’. Located on Tasmania’s stunning east coast, this world-renowned destination features powdery white sands, crystal-clear azure waters, and dramatic granite rocks cloaked in vibrant orange lichen. Escape the crowds and immerse yourself in these peaceful, untouched coastal sanctuaries. 🌊
Seasonal Wonders
Our journey adapts with the seasons to showcase the very best of Tasmania’s northern region:
- September to March: Visit the famous Bridestowe Lavender Farm, home of Bobbie Bear. Enjoy an interactive talk by your guide on lavender cultivation and processing, with free time to wander the stunning violet paddocks (commercial lavender is in full bloom from mid-December to the third week of January) and browse the gift shop and cafe.
- April to August: Discover the historic Legerwood Memorial Tree Carvings. Originally planted to mark Armistice Day, these trees were transformed by a master chainsaw sculptor into detailed figures dedicated to local World War I soldiers.
Lush Rainforest & Pristine Beaches
We venture into the Welborough Pass for the Myrtle Rainforest Walk. Enjoy a gentle stroll beneath a canopy of moss-covered Myrtles, Sassafras, Blackwoods, and giant ManFerns as your guide shares insights into Tasmania’s unique cool-temperate rainforest ecosystem. 🌿
At the spectacular Bay of Fires, savour fresh oysters sourced straight from the farm at Lease 65 (subject to seasonal availability) as a delicious entree. We will stop at Binalong Bay for lunch and a beach walk, explore the iconic orange-lichen rocks at Harbour Point, and stroll along the remote sands of Taylor’s Beach. 🦪

Couple of stops on the way before we reached the B of Fires. 1st stop Bridestowe Lavender Farm not flowering season but a chance to check out the gift shop & tour guide/driver talked briefly about different types of lavenders. Stop 2 Scottsdale to buy lunch & legs stretch. Stop 3 brief walk in rainforest and talk about trees. B of Fires Fantastic bays, beaches and small seaside towns and yummy oysters. Wonderful driver, David, is full of knowledge and stories about Tasmania.
Highly recommend this tour operator.
The stop off at the oyster farm was wonderful as the oysters were so fresh. Bingalong Bay was beautiful. It was a great lunch stop with time to walk along the beach enjoying the beautiful white sand and views. There was plenty of time for photo opportunities of the orange lichens covered granite rocks. A truly wonderful day trip with some great photos and memories. Not to be missed, and definitely recommend.
Dave is a true Launceston local and you knew it would be enjoyable hearing from someone who wants to deliver the best service you can experienced from a local! He was very passionate in sharing his knowledge and good tips around the area. He delivered good commentary along the way - the history, geography and culture in the region. We got more than what we asked for!
Bridestowe Lavender Farm was elegant and picturesque. Lots of things to do and enjoy at the farm such as the introductory tour of how lavender oil is produced. Definitely must try the blueberries Jam infused with lavender scent Scones and lavender infused ice-cream! Definitely pick up some souvenirs from the farm as well which is unique and thoughtful!
Even only me & my husband, David is still very accommodating, our tour fee is very reasonable and very quick response when discuss about the tour.
David is knowledgeable, we learnt a lot about Tasmania from him. Highly recommended his tour!!!!
